Rotation Detonation Rocket Engine. Or simply RDRE engine is the next generation rocket system. The big difference between regular rocket engines is that RDRE engine uses screw-shaped burning structure. The simplest way to make an RDRE engine is to make a screw-looking structure in the walls of the combustion chamber.

The RDRE engine uses less fuel than a regular rocket engine. And that means it's an excellent tool for moon travel. But the RDRE engine can make much more than just transit people between the Moon and earth by using moon shuttles. The RDRE engine can connect with large-size hypersonic aircraft.

When that hypersonic aircraft starts to make a ballistic jump above the atmosphere. It can turn to use the RDRE engine when it reaches space. That makes it possible to create a real space shuttle that can operate from regular airfields. And that system can make futuristic travel to the moon from regular airports possible.

But that kind of engine combination can make things like "Mayhem" hypersonic bombers more advanced and more deadly than ever before. The ability to connect rocket engines to hypersonic aircraft is always an interesting thing. That kind of system can make it possible to launch satellites. And the same system can also use in space fighters.

Researchers are interested in scramjet engines because they use atmospheric oxygen. That gives more space for fuel. And if the scramjet has a flap at the front of it. And internal oxygen tanks can turn into a rocket. This engine system allows the craft to operate at the orbital trajectory or travel to the moon.

The RDRE engine could connect with scramjet- or ramjet engines. The idea is that at the front of the engine is the flap that is closed when the aircraft cannot use air from the atmosphere.

Then the system can turn to use internal oxygen that makes the same aircraft or shuttle able to operate in the atmosphere and space. The system can be more powerful and multi-use than ever before. The screw-looking structure in the ramjet- or scramjet engine will also allow them to fill the chamber more effectively.

The flap scramjet makes it possible to create hypersonic aircraft that don't need any compressors or regular jet engines for lift-off. At the beginning of the flight, the system uses flap scramjets in rocket mode. When the aircraft's speed is high enough the system turns to use the oxygen from the atmosphere. And if will turn to fly to an orbital trajectory. It turns back to use its engines in rocket mode.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low. The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away. When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field. An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate. AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru
